SON DAVIS.-A movement has been
set afoot by the Macon Telegraph
for the establishment of memorial
fund that will place Mr. jefferson
Davis above any contingency OF

whom be has served through long
life with rare singleness OF purpose.
Had he consulted his own interests
he light have entered public Lite
again, just as Alex Stevens and
others did. He had no difliculty Ot
conduct, or of principle, or of pre-
vious relations to The Federal gov
ernment that they had not. He
was iu the same box precisely. But
he preferred to accept the tate fore
ed upou him by tue Federal govern
meut as the responsible head of be
suppressed COntederaey aud remain
tue representative of a once cherish
ed purpose Of Southern indepcnd-
ence. He has been q vicariOus sac
rifice 10 the South, and as such
should be the care and affection OF
the Southern people. The appeal,
thus believing and realizing the
necessity at such n movement,
heartily seconds il, and will gladly
be the medium of subscriptions to
the memorial funl. Subscriptions
will be Acknowledged 10 these col
umus as they are received by our
general manager, Mr.. Allen, to
whom they should be addressed.

Henry Watterson says "the girl
who does not expect some time or
another to get husband and nnrse
baby ought to be thrown in tue
nearest frog pOnd.n There is not a
girl in the country who would not
throw herself in u frog pond if she
felt that she wOuld not gel a chance
to do exactly what Henry says she
ought to do. All girls have great
expectations in the way of husbands
aul babies. Old maids, for instance,
are hopeful even alter they have
grown bald aud toOthless.

The st. Paul Daily Globe says:
Mr. Vest, OF Missouri, is one of the
best story tellers in the Senate.
One day something was said in his
presence about the negro as SOL
dler. Vest confendet that in exact,
literal obedience to an enforcement
of orders the coloFed soldier is un-
surpassed. He said: "Aiter the
war | went mp the river to Shreve-
port OH steamboat. There was
large quantity Of government cot
ton on tue levee protected by negro
seDtries, aud there were strict or
ders against smoking. | went
ashore with Major Gillespie. Now,
the Major was one of the best fell
lows in the world, and he was such
stickler for superiority On account
OF birth and race that he could
hardly admit that the Caucaeian
aud the negro were proper subjects
for comparison. He was man of
fiery temper, too, and withal, as
brave as liou. AS he was light
ing cigar at gangway, l re-
marked Major the orders against
smoking are very strict Never
mind be replied, i don't see any
body about but negro guards
Well, we had not walked a dozen
yards when we heard the command,
Halt 2 and the click of trigger as
the hammer was raised. We halt
ed. There stood soldier, black as
the ace of spades, looking at us
along the shining barrelof Spring
field rife. 'Drap dat segah,' he
said. The Major looked at the gun,
then at the man behind it, at the
'segah,' and then be let the lighted
'segah' drop to the ground. 'Tromp
out dem sparks was the next CON-
maud. Again the Major looked at
the gun and the man behind it, and
lLen he meekly 'tromped out dem
sparks After we got away | offer
ed the major 'segah,' but he said
he didn't believe he cared to smOke.'
